Ever heard of the MTLS-1G14—the double-barreled legend from World of Tanks? For quite a while, this American Tier III light tank was stuck in the shadows of more popular vehicles, a rare guest on servers. However, many players had fond memories of this peculiar machine capable of firing two shots in one click. So, we decided to give the MTLS-1G14 a second chance and the supertest revision treatment. Our goal is to make it an agile and dynamic tank slightly resembling the Tetrarch, by modifying its features in light of the up-to-date specs of random battles. The tank can’t boast good armor—and it doesn’t need it. Its purpose is to spin around the battlefield, taking out enemies with its double shots. The supertest will reveal whether the MTLS-1G14 is up to the challenge:

To be honest , I wouldn't care if it was in a bundle like the PzIIJ . I've been looking to get this tank since I first heard about it some years ago . It's my Great White Whale . If they release the MTLS-1G14 to the public , it will be mine .

I've been asking for one since 2011. I bought a boxed CD overseas that had a code for one, but could never get it to apply. Contrary to published history, my great-uncle swore that he had some of them in his tank platoon in the Aleutian Islands along with the CTLS that are documented being there. Who knows though, those great-uncles' memories can go wonky after 90!!

Regardless, thanks for the revisit, and I truly hope you make them available someday for play. I will ask again, but I've grown accustomed to the "Serb says NO, and get back to the gulag!!" answer!

An interesting development. The million-dollar question is why a premium tank (and the twin-gun game mechanic) that have been around for many years are only now suddenly being revisited. Clearly, WG had already implemented twin-guns more or less as needed, but something kept them from making it a typical feature. Could this be the 'new mechanic' that was alluded-to earlier? A staple low tier Italian tankette, the Carro Veloce, will be mounting twin autocannons as its main armament. The picture is coming together.

In any case, using the MTLS as a test-bed is a viable method to get the twin-gun mechanic polished up. For low caliber guns and autocannons, the idea of simply doubling the firepower is easy enough to balance. The difficult part will be balancing multiple high caliber guns, such as those we'd expect to see on the ST-II. If twin 122mm guns are synchronized to fire simultaneously, then effectively you have an average alpha of 880, and as such it will have to be given appropriate drawbacks compared to other high alpha heavy tanks. Besides this, 'splitting' a single high alpha shell into two normal alpha shells is something of an insurance policy against RNG, so that factor will also have to be considered.

An alternative is to instead treat such a weapon system as an autoloader with a drum capacity of 2 (or multiples thereof).

And remember: one click—two shots!

Let us know what you think!

I think that if the cost of such tank is high, it will solidify many players thought that WG is going back to "pay to win" in lower tiers. Seal clubbing (though has never gone away and will never go away) will be even more prevalent. I, also, believe that there will be a loud outcry that the tank is too OP for it's tier. But hey.. looks like a fun 'tooning tank!!!
